SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATHS (STEM)

STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics — in an interdisciplinary and applied approach.

Rather than teach the four disciplines as separate and discrete subjects, STEM integrates them into a cohesive learning program based on real-world applications.

What separates STEM from the traditional science and math education is the blended learning environment and showing students how the scientific method can be applied to everyday life. It teaches students computational thinking and focuses on the real world applications of problem solving.

The skills that students develop within this approach are:

Interpersonal skills

Critical thinking

Creativity

Problem solving

Flexibility

Communication

Team-work

The program enhances their knowledge in the following learning areas – literacy, mathematics knowledge, science knowledge, technology knowledge, design and digital literacy.
